anyone want to buy a used HTC Wizard with an upgrade win mobile 6.0 OS?
On a more relevant note, this new update came down automatically and pretty slick on my HtC Touch. Live Search is working great with my Holux M-1200 key fob. No, it's not going to beat a full fledged GPS, but it's great for the occasional use. My biggest beef with Live Search has always been semi-dodgy searches. Gotta love that Speech to text search action too.
I modifed my HTC wizard with an os from xda-developers
the best tool that I ever installed on it is callwave..no more checking voice mail again
Callwave is free. It allows you to switch your voice mail provider to them. They e-mail your voicemail to you as mp3s or wave files (I forget which). I used it and liked it a lot, but not using your carrier's voicemail service will make your phone unable to automatically display things like voicemail counts, if that matters to you at all.
the whole process of checking voice mail is not intuitive at all..I get tons of messages "call me back" or "I am downstairs"
usually knowing who is calling is enough to figure out the message, but we still have to call the voice mail and manually go through each message before we delete it
with callwave your voice mail is transcribed and sent to you as a text message. Now you never have to call your voice mail.
pretty slick
